From excess baggage to moving to Malaysia, below we have outlined everything you need to know and the support you’ll receive from the knowledgeable Seven Seas Worldwide team during this process in 3 simple steps:

1. Once you have received your quote and placed your order, we will then deliver your boxes and packing materials, such as bubble wrap and tape, right to your door, ready for you to pack your goods safely. We also encourage you to write your name and job number on both sides of each box to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible.
2. The next step involves completing the online documentation, which includes an inventory listing the contents you’re taking along with optional insurance forms. Once complete, our drivers collect your boxes on your selected date chosen during the order process.
3. Lastly, our experienced shipping team will transport your shipment safely to Malaysia. From there, it’s cleared through customs and then delivered to your chosen destination or, can be collected upon arrival to the port via a call or email from a local agent.

At Seven Seas Worldwide, we can ship your boxes to you by sea. Sea shipping is our more budget-friendly option and will take 97 days to reach Malaysia. All transit times start from the date we receive full payment and your online documentation has been completed.

The most precise way of getting a price for shipping boxes from South Africa to Malaysia is to use our free instant shipping quote tool. It’s quick and easy to submit and will give you an outlay of all costs involved, including customs clearance, due payments, and other related charges.

If you're looking to import your luggage without paying duties, then all residents and non-residents must meet the following criteria:

• Be the owner of the household items and effects you are bringing.
• Have been in ownership of the items for more than 6 months.
• Be present in Malaysia when your shipment arrives.

For returning Malaysians, all you would need to provide is a copy of the front and the back of your identity card. For non-residents, a copy of your visa and work permit or letter of employment confirming employment in Malaysia.

Like anywhere you visit internationally, certain items are restricted when entering Malaysia. Our Prohibited goods page outlines what you can and cannot send from South Africa to Malaysia.

To ensure your goods arrive via the quickest and most efficient method possible, all shipping and air routes are predefined and cannot be altered.
